this is something that hillary clinton herself warned about a few days ago. by not stepping in, everyone agrees that say sad is going to go but we have not stepped in to shape the opposition and not only a viable force but a force that is valuable instead of al-qaeda linked. >> chris: but we don't know that necessarily they would topple assad or al-qaeda still wouldn't have a big role, but it raises the question. here you have panetta, dempsey, clinton, petraeus the entire national security team saying arm the rebels and the white house said no, why do you think not? >> and saudi arabia, britain, france and qatar they understood the importance. i think the president does not like to intervene in these kinds of things. i think also during an election he understood that the public was war weary and didn't want to take that chance. i think this is going to be a big mistake in retrospect. as nina said you've got 800,000 people displaced 60,000 that are dead. syria is linchpin in the middle east and it could spark a regional war. if assad fell and we were able to

thank you, secretary clinton. you're right. now, for this administration to bring people in to top positions who do not understand the threat to this country and think that ignoring due process of our constitution and killing american citizens with drone bombs is somehow preserving the constitution, it requires another look. it requires oversight. there may be circumstances where that's what needs to be done. but i do find it interesting that this administration and certain leaders here on the hill had no problem with alwith a licky leading -- with ah-waliki leading prayers here on capitol hill, prayers that were videotaped, he led prayers on capitol hill and then he goes to yemen and this administration things that we better kill him with a drone without due process, what were they afraid of, maybe he'd come back and lead prayers on capitol hill or maybe he would be captured and talk about who all he led prayers with on capitol hill. what was the need for taking this man out? we're told he had blood on his hands and so it does
